Accessible Travel Top 3 Week 12/07
Top 3 subjects on Accessible Travel for Mar. 19 - Mar. 25, 2007
During week 12 of 2007, Accessible Travel readers looked for airport security information for first-time flyers, delays at Toronto airport, and airplane seating plans.
The Top 3 items in Accessible Travel this week were:
#1 (#2 last week). Flying Basics - Airport Security Whether you are a first-time flyer or not, going through airport security is the same experience for everyone. This is one of several articles in the Flying Basics series. Read one and you may be hooked.
#2 (#3 last week): Flying Basics - Seat Selection This brief article about airplane seat selection helps you with how to find airplane seating plans, what different seats are like, and some of the pros and cons of the on-line rating systems. A lot of people tend to get anxious about their seat selection on the airplane. While it is one of the factors making a flight more comfortable, not everyone gets their personal favourite seat on every flight every time. The article emphasizes that no matter where you sit, the actual flight part of most trips is a relatively small part of the overall experience. Sometimes it helps to keep that in mind and just relax on the plane no matter where they put you.
The Flying Basics series is meant to help anyone who is new to flying or perhaps has a fear of flying. The series keeps on growing. Right now it includes:
- Flying Basics - An Overview
- Flying Basics - Airport Security
- Flying Basics - Booking
- Flying Basics - Seat selection
- Flying Basics - Packing
- Flying Basics - Packing for Events
- Flying Basics - Weather Info
- Flying Basics - Weather Matters
The Flying Basics series is meant to explain the experience of travelling by air, in keeping with our motto: Knowledge is Power.
#3. Burger King Allergen Information The articles about food allergies and popular restaurants were all popular this week. These include Chili's Restaurant Allergen Menus, and pieces on Burger King, Wendy's and McDonalds. More to come.
If you are researching food allergies on your own, the piece called Website Searches for Allergy Infohas tips on searching the internet to find out about allergies to fast food and fast food ingredients. Sometimes it's the little things like the cooking oils and seasonings that are the problem. If you are not sure about the information, always check at the restaurant. Website information can be inaccurate. Ingredients sometimes change on short notice. The ingredients used in one location may not be identical in another state, province or country.
An article from the Eastern Canada Travel section continues to be useful for many readers. That is Toronto Airport YYZ Flight Delays which provides links to help you get current information on flights in and out of Toronto's Pearson International Airport.
